In fact, the cremation rate is expected to hit 50 percent in North America by 2015. As a result, it's important for funeral home directors like you to implement a cremation strategy that will help keep your business growing.

You are not alone in that observation, given that just under 4% of people in 1960 were cremated, but more than 40% of people were cremated in 2010. Therefore, it is important to understand how the rise in cremations may impact the funeral services that you offer.
